Policy decisions surrounding HPR are taken by the community as a whole. This discussion takes place on the Mail List which is open to all HPR listeners and contributors. The discussions are open and available in the archives run externally by Gmane (see below) and on the HPR server under Mailman.

Note: since the summer of 2016 Gmane has changed location and is currently being reestablished. At the moment the HPR archive is not available there.

dodddummy

dodddummy is a play on the mainframe equivalent of /dev/null

In proper syntax of the DD, data description JCL statement. Comes from my 'friends' trying to describe my prowess.

//DO DD DUMMY

Most like pronounced
D-O D-D DUMMY

Or perhaps
DO D-D DUMMY

by people who work with JCL(Job Control Language).

Thanks for the explanation

Thanks, that helps to explain things.

Just as an aside, in my day JCL was a more generic term used on many of the mainframes I used - ICL, CDC, Burroughs.

At the university I worked at we were wooed by IBM in the mid-1980s, who tried to sell us a machine to run VM/CMS I think. I forget what it was, but they failed. So I have no experience of IBM's JCL happily!
